Product Description:
This soft, supple, Earth-friendly flannel sham is the perfect accessory to Pinzon's flannel sheets and duvets. Expertly made in Portugal with 160 grams of cotton per square meter, the superior-quality fabric begins with dyed yarns, so the patterning is woven through and appears on both sides. In addition, the flannel is infused with contrasting yarns to create a beautiful heathered effect and is lightly brushed for extra softness. The process used to craft Pinzon's heathered flannel makes use of cotton often thrown away in standard industrial production. In a standard spinning process, before the bales of raw cotton are transformed into yarns, there is always some raw cotton left over and thrown away. In our eco-friendly process, these leftovers are processed by color and grouped into bales that will be used to produce new heather yarns. Cotton that was wasted and thrown away is incorporated into the product again, making a more eco-friendly process and product.
Offered in a wide array of colors, the sham mixes and matches with other colors and patterns for a coordinated look. Peruse the wide variety of Pinzon flannel and yarn-dyed flannel bedding and velvet accessories to create a layered look with an ultra-soft feel. The standard-size sham measures 20 by 26 inches and has an envelope closure. Caring for it easy since it's safe clean at home in the washer and dryer.
Fabric Definition
Flannel: Flannel fabrics are noted for their fuzzy softness, warmth, and durability, and they can be dyed or printed. Thought to have been popularized in Wales in the 17th century, flannel was an all-wool fabric made of woolen or worsted yarns, with a brushed surface and a soft napped finish obscuring its weave. Flannel may be plain woven or twill woven and, today, most flannel fabrics are made of cotton fibers or synthetic rayon fibers that are slightly napped on both sides to resemble the old woolen or worsted yarn weaves. A wide range of flannel weights and textures is available. The fabric weight and quality of the napping affect the warmth and softness of the fabric. Many people prefer flannel bedding during the cold, winter months, but some flannel weights are appropriate in breatheability and comfort all year long.

History of the Region
Portugal's major textile factories are located in Guimaraes, known as the "cradle" or "birth city" of Portugal, since it is home to the castle of Portugal's first king. As one of the country's most historic cities with well-preserved monuments, it is a popular tourist attraction. Among other sites to see are two squares with outdoor cafes and balconied houses, called Praça de Santiago and Largo da Oliveira. At Largo da Oliveira are the old Town Hall and the Church of Nossa Senhora da Oliveira, with a Gothic shrine erected in 1340 standing before it. There are many legends about its origins, but a popular story says it marks the spot where Wamba, elected king of the Visigoths, refused his title and drove a pole into the ground swearing that he would not reign until it blossomed, and it sprouted immediately. Guimaraes hosts an annual 3-day festival of medieval art and costume in the first week of August, which dates from the middle of the 15th century and includes a torchlight procession and a medieval parade. Not only renowned for textiles and historical sites, Guimaraes is in the heart of the "Vinho Verde" region, so called for its locally produced fresh, young "green wines."
